Hailing from Tuva, a Russian republic situated on the Mongolian border, Huun Huur Tu brings the tradition of tuvan throat-singing to the world stage. Analyzing Huun-Huur-Tu's music, The Chicago Tribune, wrote, 'it is unfamiliar yet very accessible, an other-worldly but deeply spiritual music that is rooted in the sound of nature". In addition to recording their own albums, the members of Huun-Huur-Tu have contributed their unique vocals to albums and/or performances by Frank Zappa, The Chieftains, Johnny "Guitar" Watson and The Kronos Quartet.
